Better lah

always oscillating between a bit crazy and a bit depressed depending on my dosage of lithium and SSRI

Lithium is an interesting drug for depression. Depends on the level.

It is a mood stabiliser for bipolar

Normal people spotted

"just be happy!"

No. You wish it were that simple. That's just "feeling blue" or "in the doldrums". Nowhere close to actual depression.

Single is not the best.

No. You wish it were that simple.

Depression can also be caused by drugs like the pill

On a side note, love can cure depression probably

Will ts become depressed after seeing all these posts?

We are here to create more depressed patients so TS can have more business.

Usually yes for bipolar. But also can be used for unipolar depression.

The practical clinical distinction:

• 0.4–0.6 mmol/L: May be sufficient for augmentation of unipolar depression.
• 0.6–0.8 mmol/L: Common target for long-term bipolar stabilization.
• 0.8–1.0 mmol/L: Sometimes used for recurrent bipolar episodes despite lower therapeutic levels.
• 0.8–1.2 mmol/L: Typical target for acute mania in younger adults.

I worry the depressed ones becoming victims. We dunno if anyone online is prying on vulnerable people or not. Love/sex/money scams are possible. Better to go through proper channel.
